"The pastry was good, but my husband and I both thought it was a little bit too sweet. I would make it again, but next time I would cut the sugar in the filling down to 1/2 cup from 3/4 cup. Also, the almonds sprinkled on the top were a nice touch, I thought, but my husband didn't like them. I think I would also substitute a sprinkling of coarse sugar for the glaze to help cut down on the sweetness."

"I will definitely make this again. We have a pear tree in our backyard and the pears were crunchy but tasted great. I am anticipating the leftover tart tonight!"
